I posted this in the ASP forum and was told I should use JavaScript rather than ASP...
How could I accomplish the following:(that works in both IE and Netscape):

>> VALIDATE MY FORM fields (communicating to user which
fields are in error)
>> E-MAIL form results TO my e-mail adrress
>> REDIRECT the user to a CONFIRMATION / THANKYOU
page upon successful completion of the form.

Any information would be most appreciated...
Thanks !!

Sounds like that would be easier to do with a combination of the two.
Use JavaScript to validate the form contents on the client side.
Use ASP to format and send the email and redirect the user to the desired page. Mise Le Meas,

Put this between your <head> and </head> tags
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--

function DataValidation()
{

if (document.NameofForm.NameofField1.value == &quot;&quot;) {

alert(&quot;You must enter a value for the NameofField1!&quot;);
return false;

}

if (document.NameofForm.NameofField2.value == &quot;&quot;) {

alert(&quot;You must enter a value for the NameofField2!&quot;);
return false;

}


return true;

}


// -->
</SCRIPT>


and then put this in your form tag
<FORM NAME=&quot;NameofForm&quot; ONSUBMIT=&quot;return DataValidation();&quot; action=&quot;emailProcess.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>


and then save this in a file called emailProcess.asp

<%
If Request.Form(&quot;submit&quot;)=&quot;Submit&quot; Then
body=&quot;***///// Contact Form \\\\\***&quot; & VbCrLf
body=body & &quot;NameofField1: &quot; & Request.Form(&quot;NameofField1&quot;) & VbCrLf
body=body & &quot;NameofField12: &quot; & Request.Form(&quot;NameofField12&quot;) & VbCrLf
Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot;)
ObjMail.To = &quot;Put your email address here&quot;
ObjMail.From = &quot;Website&quot;
ObjMail.Subject = &quot;Contact Form&quot;
ObjMail.Body = body
ObjMail.Send
Set ObjMail = Nothing
response.Redirect &quot;index.asp?service=yes&quot;
response.End
End If
%>


I edited this in a hurry to fit your needs so there still might be a change or two to be made. Hope this helps.

In the asp I forgot to change one thing.

the line

response.Redirect &quot;index.asp?service=yes&quot;

should be

response.Redirect&quot;ConfirmationPage.html&quot;
